Colour me pleased then..:-)  Nice to hear.  (Is it still the same code as
of the release that was withdrawn?)

DH>> Regrettably, I consider it quite possible.  56k won't work,

MG> X2 56k can work over here and one day probably will.  There will NEVER be
MG> a 64k variant as far as I can tell because it is not possible.  Remember,
MG> the yanks have 64k ISDN as well as 56k ISDN.

DH>> Then again, it may simply be sales hype.

MG> Of course, you could be right...

Regrettably.  On such things, I have a _definite_ desire to be wrong.
